Laura Trott MP and I have launched our new report on driving innovation and economic growth after the pandemic.
In the report, Laura and I outline our three-point plan to boost economic activity in the UK's university towns and cities through the creation of new Accelerator Zones.
Last week, I held a Zoom call for University students from Hitchin & Harpenden to speak about the challenges and emotional strain they have faced, and to share solutions with those also on the call.
Adapt ems are a fantastic manufacturing business based in Wilbury Way in Hitchin. Their business is doing brilliantly well, with revenue at its highest ever, and they are working on technological solutions to Covid testing and more generally with many household names.
Today I asked the Secretary of State to outline what more the Government will do to ensure we can provide more opportunities to disadvantaged and vulnerable people.
A message to university students from Hitchin & Harpenden
I have been concerned to hear of the challenges and emotional strain many of you have struggled with as you settle into this formative phase in your education - I want to let you know that your voices are being heard.
